Hello, Its Terror/Destruction. Me, Miked and a couple of other players have found a bug but we didn't try to find the bug, it just happened.
We all have properties of a stunned person and some strange ones.
We have many disadvantages and probabley only one main advantage, that is we don't lose gold when we respawn.
The disadvatanges are that we can't Self Delete, we can't enter interiors (volcano, shop, woods etc..). We have been thinking about what caused this and how it happened. We are not sure at the moment, hopefully this bug won't lead to another character reset...
Im just informing Badspot because although I love not losing gold I do want the shop back :(

Apparently it came after a meteor shower. Maybe a stunned person was killed by a meteor...

Heres a picture of being in the volcano and not in the interior.

Im sure Badspot will remember tyo back up the files before fixing the problem :3

I'm attributing this bug to the server being up for more than 24 days. Somewhere around 24 days is the 2147483647 millisecond mark, which is the max value for a signed 32 bit integer. After that the simTime counter will overflow to -2147483648 milliseconds and that will probably break everything - especially the schedule functions that control things like public nudity, teleporting and respawning. The quick fix is for me to reset the server before the 24 day mark.

I'm probably the first person to have a torque server up for more than 24 days without crashing, heh.

Yay for Badspot and his non crashy-ness!

Basically he is saying at a certain time everything craps up.

We know. Thank you for bumping this.

Kaphix · September 07, 2006, 06:42:13 PM

Who cares what I bump? Thanks to you, I'm gonna go make an uber bump

TheSilentNinja · September 07, 2006, 07:14:01 PM

XD Join the madness, bump. And Congrats to Bad Spot on his "not crashing" game award. :D

Ratty · September 07, 2006, 07:15:22 PM

Wrong, An Annoying Bug.

Koden · September 07, 2006, 07:18:10 PM

Is it still up without being reset? If so, that would be cool.

Miked · September 08, 2006, 07:36:32 AM

Top secret:

You can tell how long the server has been running by typing "/playtime" while logged out

Anti-Cop · September 08, 2006, 08:53:44 AM

I thought that just gave you the playtime on the logged out name...
